Elly Mazlein

Profile Overview

Sharifah Aida Mazlina binti Syed Hanafi or better known as Elly Mazlein (Jawi: ايلي مضلين, born 17 December 1980) is a Malaysian female singer, actress, host, comedian and radio presenter.
She signed a recording contract with NAR Records in 1997 and has released 4 solo studio albums over the 5 years of the contract. When she was a singer, she was often compared to her contemporaries' teenage singers such as Siti Nurhaliza and Liza Hanim. Even so, in 2001 she created her own record when her third album titled Elly managed to become one of the 10 best-selling Malaysian albums that year with sales exceeding 60,000 units. The success repeated the success of her previous album titled Satu Persatu which also sold 50,000 units. Elly managed to popularize songs such as "Usah Diduk Bara Yang Tersimpan", "Janji Kekasih" and "Bungaku Bakawali" which at that time dominated the country's radio charts. Her music career came to a halt in 2005 due to market factors and recording contracts.
As an actress, she began her acting career after being drafted by famous actor and director, Datuk Yusof Haslam to star in the drama series Gerak Khas and since then, she has made a name for herself as one of the best-selling female TV actresses in Malaysia.
